¹Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An investment in any money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the US government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. Although the Fund seeks to maintain the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Dividend yields and returns have been enhanced due to expense limitations initiated by the Adviser. Equity funds involve the risk that the underlying investments may lose value.  Accordingly, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds. Small capitalization companies present greater risks than securities of larger more established companies. They trade less frequently and experience more abrupt price movements. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, sales charges and expense of the fund carefully before investing. The prospectus contains more complete information about this and other matters. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing. You can obtain a prospectus by calling Gabelli & Company, Inc. at 1-800-GABELLI (1-800-422-3554) or contacting your financial representative or by visiting http://www.gabelli.com.

Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2007, investment advisory fees were $250.4 million, an increase of $23.4 million or 10.3% compared to the year ago period:

– 
Our closed-end funds revenues were up 13.0% to $60.6 million versus the $53.6 million in 2006, as a result of investment returns and inclusion of the Gabelli Global Deal Fund from its inception in February 2007.

– 
Open-end mutual funds revenues grew 16.6% to $93.9 million from $80.6 million based on higher average AUM.
 
– 
Institutional and private wealth management revenues increased 9.8% to $88.6 million from $80.7 million reported in 2006.
 
– 
Investment Partnership revenues dipped $4.8 million to $7.2 million from $12.0 million.

GBL earns incentive fees on certain assets based upon annual performance. Total incentive fees slipped $3.2 million, or 12.5% in 2007 from $25.7 million in 2006. Incentive fees from closed-end funds dropped $0.6 million to $10.1 million in 2007 from the prior year. Incentive fees from institutional and private wealth management increased $1.6 million, or 22.2% to $8.9 million from $7.3 million in 2006 due to performance and higher level of AUM. Investment Partnership incentive fees declined to $3.5 million from $7.7 million due to lower returns and lower AUM.

Commission revenues from our institutional research business, Gabelli & Company, Inc., were $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, up 24.6% from the prior year amount of $12.6 million.  The increase was primarily due to continued recognition of our growing institutional research and client service efforts.
 
Mutual fund distribution fees and other income were $26.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $4.4 million, or 20.1%, from the $21.8 million in the 2006 period.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, investment advisory fees were $77.8 million, an increase of $4.5 million or 6.2% compared to the year ago quarter:

– 
Open-end mutual funds generated revenues of $25.1 million, 21.2% higher than the $20.7 million generated in the fourth quarter 2006.
 
– 
Our closed-end funds revenues climbed 5.8% to $23.2 million in the fourth quarter 2007 from $21.9 million, driven by investment returns and the initial inclusion of the Gabelli Global Deal Fund.

– 
Institutional and private wealth management revenues increased 15.6% to $25.8 million from $22.3 million.
 
– 
Investment Partnership revenues were $3.7 million, down 55.6%, or $4.6 million from the 2006 comparable quarter.

In the fourth quarter commission revenues from our institutional research business, Gabelli & Company, Inc., were $4.2 million, up 23.7% from the prior year.  

Mutual fund distribution fees and other income were $7.0 million for the fourth quarter 2007, an increase of $1.2 million, or 19.7%, from the $5.8 million in fourth quarter 2006.
 
 
 

 
 
Operating Margin

The operating margin before management fee was 40.2% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 34.3% in the prior year period.

For the fourth quarter 2007, the operating margin before management fee was 47.7% for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 46.8% in the prior year period.  The prior year period operating margin is before inclusion of a prepayment of $4.1 million in distribution expenses, a $3.0 million litigation reserve and the reversal of $3.3 million in previously accrued partnership compensation.
 
Other Income / Expense

Total other income (which represents primarily investment income from our proprietary investments), net of interest expense, was $26.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $56.9 million in 2006.  In 2006, we adopted FIN 46 and EITF 04-5 which lead to the consolidation of certain partnerships and offshore funds (as described in the notes included herein). These accounting changes resulted in $14.2 million of other income, absent in the 2007 full year results. Also contributing to the year over year decline was the fourth quarter 2007 impairment charge of $5.1 million from losses on available for sale securities deemed from an accounting point of view to be other than temporary.

Total other income before interest expense was $0.4 million for the fourth quarter 2007 versus $18.9 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Given the amount of our investments that are exposed to interest rate risk the following table shows the annualized impact on GBL’s interest income from a 100 basis point change ($ in millions):

Business Highlights

·  
GAM GAMCO Equity Fund was awarded Standard & Poor's AAA Rating for the fourth consecutive year and was one of only four S&P AAA rated funds out of the 1,268 fund Mainstream Sector Group. GAM GAMCO Equity Fund has been sub-advised by GAMCO Asset Management Inc. for London UK based Global Asset Management (GAM), since the fund's launch in October 1987. We plan to enhance our position as a sub-advisor with other financial sponsors where we have investment capacity.

·  
70% of our rated Equity Assets had four or five-start ratings from Morningstar, compared to 53% within the asset management industry, according to Merrill Lynch’s December fund flows report.

·  
The Board of Directors of the closed-end funds authorized the filing of shelf registrations for $1.7 billion of preferred and equity securities.

·  
In November, shareholders approved the three proposals presented at our Special Meeting of Shareholders. The three proposals were to (a) approve, subject to final action by GAMCO’s Board of Directors, the distribution to its shareholders of the shares of common stock of Gabelli Advisers, Inc. owned by GAMCO, (b) vote on whether GAMCO’s Board of Directors should consider the conversion and reclassification of its shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock at a ratio of 1.15 shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock, and (c) approve the amended and restated Employment Agreement with GAMCO’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our Class A shareholders overwhelmingly voted in favor of each of these proposals including the referendum on whether GAMCO’s Board should consider the conversion and reclassification of the Class B shares into Class A shares at a ratio of 1.15 Class A shares for each Class B share.

·  
Our liquid balance sheet, coupled with investment grade credit ratings from both Moody's and Standard & Poor's, provides access to financial markets and the flexibility to opportunistically add operating resources to our firm, repurchase our stock and consider strategic initiatives. As a result of GAMCO Investors, Inc.'s shelf registration in the third quarter 2006, we have the right to issue any combination of senior and subordinate debt securities, convertible debt securities and equity securities (including common and preferred securities) up to a total amount of $520 million.

·  
Gabelli & Company, Inc, our institutional equity research firm, hosted its 31st Annual Automotive Aftermarket Symposium in October as part of the firm's institutional brokerage business. Held in Las Vegas, the three-day investment research meeting, which focused on emissions technology, fuel efficiency, and OEM supplier dynamics, featured presentations from senior management at 27 leading automotive parts suppliers, retailers, and dealers.

 
 
 

 
 
Financial Highlights

Statement of Financial Condition – Liquidity and Flexibility

We ended the quarter with approximately $689.0 million in cash and investments, which is net of $5.3 million of cash and investments held by our consolidated investment partnerships.  This included approximately $118.6 million of our investments in The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Global Deal Fund and Westwood Holdings Group as well as other investments of $8.7 million classified as available for sale securities. We highlight selected data for our holdings classified as available for sale as of December 31, 2007:

Our debt consisted of $100 million of 5.5% senior notes due May 2013 and a $50.0 million 6% convertible note due August 2011.  We had cash and investments in securities, net of debt and minority interest, of $18.96 per share on December 31, 2007 compared with $17.12 per share on December 31, 2006. We caution that this metric, while correct from an accounting point of view, is not always the same as investors would view cash-on-hand.

Stockholders' equity was $501.3 million or $17.86 per share on December 31, 2007 compared to $451.6 million or $15.99 per share on December 31, 2006.

Shareholder Compensation

Consistent with our shared goals and in the absence of transactions, we target shareholders compensation of 40% of our earnings in the form of stock buybacks or dividends. In 2007, we returned $40.2 million of our earnings to shareholders through dividends of $31.5 million ($1.12 per share) and $8.7 million in stock buybacks. From 2003, GAMCO has paid more than $90 million, or $3.11 per share in dividends to Class A and Class B shareholders, including $2.70 per share in special dividends.

Share Repurchase
 
    In 2007, we repurchased 186,400 shares at an average investment of $46.45 per share. This includes the 20,200 shares that we purchased during the fourth quarter at an average investment of $54.06 per share. Since our buyback program was initiated in March 1999, we repurchased 4,856,058 class A common shares at an average investment of $39.72 per share. The total amount of shares currently available for repurchase under the current authorization is approximately 862,000 shares at December 31, 2007.
 
    Shares outstanding on December 31, 2007 were 28.1 million, level with September 30, 2007 shares and approximately 0.6% lower than 28.2 million shares outstanding on December 31, 2006.  Fully diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2007 were 29.1 million, level with third quarter 2007 fully diluted shares outstanding and 0.5% below our fully diluted shares of 29.2 million for the fourth quarter 2006.  On December 7, 2007, GAMCO granted 385,400 Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") shares to our team members. Under the terms of the RSA, staff will vest 30% of their respective award after 3 years of service and vest 70% of their respective award after 5 years of service. Subsequent to year end, GAMCO filed a Form S-3 to allow Cascade Investments to convert any portion of the $50 million of convertible debentures it currently holds and to liquefy its holdings. On January 22, 2008, Cascade Investments converted $10 million of the convertible debentures into 188,697 GBL shares.
 
Financial Results

In the first quarter of 2006, the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 04-5 (“EITF 04-5”) required the consolidation of our investment partnerships and offshore funds managed by our subsidiaries into our consolidated financial statements. However, since we amended the agreements of five investment partnerships and an offshore fund on March 31, 2006 to add substantive kickout rights, FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 only required us to consolidate these entities on our consolidated condensed statement of income for the first quarter 2006.  Accordingly, to provide a better understanding of our core results and trends, GAMCO has provided the 2006 results before adjusting the first quarter 2006 results for FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 on these partnerships and this fund.  These results are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to results presented in accordance with GAAP is presented in Table V.
 

 
 

 

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We believe adjusted cash and investments is a more useful measure of the company’s liquidity for analytical purposes.

Net amounts receivable/(payable) from/to brokers reflect cash and cash equivalents held with brokers and cash payable for securities purchased and recorded on a trade date basis for which settlement occurs subsequent to period end.

B.  
Operating income before management fee expense is used by management for purposes of evaluating its business operations.  We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of GAMCO Investors, Inc (the "Company") as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company’s proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense.  The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table IV.

C.  
Beginning January 1, 2006, the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 04-5 (“EITF 04-5”) require consolidation of the majority of our investment partnerships and offshore funds managed by our subsidiaries into our consolidated financial statements.  However, since we amended the agreements of five investment partnerships and an offshore fund on March 31, 2006, FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 only required us to consolidate these entities on our consolidated condensed statement of income for the first quarter 2006.  We were not required to consolidate these entities on our consolidated condensed statement of financial condition at March 31, 2006.  In addition, these partnerships and offshore funds, for which the agreements were amended, are not required to be consolidated within our consolidated condensed statement of income or on our consolidated condensed statement of financial condition in future periods as long as we continue to not maintain a direct or indirect controlling financial interest.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the consolidation of these entities had no impact on net income but did affect the classification of income between operating and other income.  As a result, in Table V, we have also provided our results before adjusting for FIN 46R and EITF 04-5 on these partnerships and this fund.
 
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Our disclosure and analysis in this press release contain some forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results.  Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe.  Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include, without limitation: the adverse effect from a decline in the securities markets; a decline in the performance of our products; a general downturn in the economy; changes in government policy or regulation; changes in our ability to attract or retain key employees; and unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory organizations.  We also direct your attention to any more specific discussions of risk contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings.  We are providing these statements as permitted by the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations or if we receive any additional information relating to the subject matters of our forward-looking statements.
